"la my opinion we are not In any way facing a meat shortage," says E. 1,. Potter, pro- ressor of animal husbandry at O A. V " '"We shall not have the abundance ot cheap meats we had 15 years ago but that Is all rights .as they were too cheap and we were eating more than was good for ns." Prices are high, thinks Professor Potter, because the livestock Is con suming all available foods, excessive, even considering the high prices of livestock. Not more livestock but better uti lization of feed through better breed ing, feeding and management, and production of more cheap feeds, es pecially grass, is Oregon's problem. according to Professor Potter. As long as feed Is high meat animals will be high, when feed goes down stock prices will drop." ' i .. !The livestock Industry of Oregon la in fine shape, both tkr the present and future. The extension problem of the college Is to answer stock men'B questions on feeding, breed ing, purchase and distribution -of better stock.
